Whatever your chosen discipline, studying with UAL at postgraduate level allows you to grow creatively and professionally within a nurturing network of staff and students. You will develop the knowledge, skills and experience to realise personal ambitions and to find your own individual style.

Postgraduate study at UAL gives you the chance to explore new creative directions and expand your knowledge through experimentation and discovery. The experience will open up a world of opportunities to help you shape your career or take you down a different path entirely.

The Careers and Employability service at UAL supports the creative and commercial potential of postgraduate students. They work closely with each College to deliver a range of tailored workshops and other activities that make sure students graduate with the skills they need to succeed.

When you leave you will take with you a network of highly trained creative people, who will keep you motivated and connected to the creative industries and your field of practice. As a graduate of UAL you’ll join an alumni network of sector-leading creatives, celebrated with awards ranging from the Turner Prize to the Oscars.

UAL’s Post-Grad Community is a programme that provides access to cross-College and cross-disciplinary opportunities, events and networking. The programme gives students from across UAL access to events and opportunities outside of their course curriculum.

You will be able to collaborate with other postgraduate students working in completely different ways to you, in a stimulating environment full of opportunities. Events take place at UAL and further afield, and include talks with industry specialists, visits to artists’ studios, curator-led tours and student-led activity.

Our academics and research students play a prominent role in the UK’s creative culture. They produce research in creative outcomes that enhance cultural life and impact on a diverse range of beneficiaries. Following the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, 83% of our research was graded as either world-leading or internationally excellent.

UAL offers their postgraduate students a wide range of scholarships, bursaries and funding awards. The amount of funding provided by each award varies and eligibility depends on criteria such as your chosen course and nationality. Search UAL scholarships to find out if there’s a fund for you.
